Default Worst Germinator

The winner was clear by far this year as no pepper seed gave me much issue. I planted Jalapeños (2 types), Ancho, Cayenne, Leutschauer Paprika, Habanero, Anaheim, Serrano Tampequino, Bell, Red Popper and Cubanelle.

I wanted 8 Cubanelle plants for my garden and I finally was able to get them, but I went through 4 separate attempts and about 30 seeds. Finally a few days ago the eight plant sprouted. 6 and 7 sprouted last week. 1-5 I have had for about 6-8 weeks and discovered I was short after sorting through all of the plants for a garden count. I am hoping for a warm September to get my harvest.
No other pepper came close to this poor germination rate and I couldn't pick a second place if I had too.
